How could he possibly be in the mood to take a seat? Instead, he asked, “Sister-in-law, where’s Jingye? I’m looking for him for something.”

Mrs. Lu sneered deep down in her heart, but she revealed an unfortunate expression. “You’re looking for Jingye? He has already left the capital.”

“What?” Lu Family’s Third Master’s voice unconsciously increased by several octaves and decibels. “Where did he go? I’ll chase after him right now.”

He immediately made preparations to chase after Lu Jingye.

Mrs. Lu was not in a rush to tell him though. “It’s cold outside, come in and have a cup of hot tea first.”

“How could I possibly be in the mood to have tea now?” He was extremely anxious right now and at the same time, he discerned something. “Sister-in-law, are you not willing to tell me where Jingye went?”

“That’s right.”

Mrs. Lu’s reply was so straightforward that it stunned him.

He paused for a moment before he said, “Sister-in-law, I am really looking for Jingye urgently. This matter concerns the reputation of the Lu Family. If…”

Mrs. Lu interrupted him. “Jingye is no longer a member of the Lu Family. As for the family’s reputation, it doesn’t seem to have any relation to him in the slightest.”

Mrs. Lu continued to speak. “When Father chased Jingye out of the Lu Family, he mentioned it before. He’s not to involve himself in the Lu Family matters or else he would not spare him. Third Brother, do you want my son to receive another beating?”

“There are so many people in the Lu Family, so why do you insist on looking for Jingye? He’s already very busy right now and he has to organize his own wedding, How could he possibly have time to take care of outsiders’ problems?”

‘The Third Master Lu realized that he could not find a single word to refute her.

Mrs. Lu looked at him and her eyes were filled with tears of heartache. “You should go back. Don’t come looking for my son again. He has his own family now and he needs to make a living to support his family. He doesn’t have that much time to help and even if you need help, you should be looking for

the Lu Family members.”

The Third Master Lu was silent for some time before he suddenly scratched his head out of frustration. In the end, he turned to leave.

Mrs. Lu looked at him leaving in haste. She then took out her handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the tears from her eyes before a sneer curved up on her lips.

Hmph, you think that my son is a tool that you Lu Family can use as and when you like?

Ha!

The Third Master Lu did not manage to meet Lu Jingye and so, he made his way to the Lu Group in haste.

Lu Zhiheng was currently scolding the employees in the conference room. “I gave you such a high salary and yet you actually gave me such results? Do you no longer have the desire to stay in the Lu Group? If so, you can get lost right now.”

The group of executives felt uncomfortable from getting scolded like that and their expressions looked ugly too.

The Third Master Lu saw the scene and he subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows.

He had visited the company several times in the past when Lu Jingye was in charge. He would always see his second nephew treating his subordinates amicably and they also treated him with respect.

However, why did the company end up in such a mess when his eldest nephew was in charge?

Lu Zhiheng just so happened to see Third Master Lu and he simply shouted at the executives, “Tl come back and take care of you later.”

Having said that, his expression changed and he walked over to Third Master Lu with a smile on his face. “Third Uncle, why have you come to the company? You didn’t even inform me in advance.”

Third Master Lu suddenly raged. “Why should I tell you in advance? So that you can avoid me too?”

Lu Zhiheng was stunned for a moment before he hastily said, “Third Uncle, what are you talking about? How could I possibly avoid you?”

He then motioned for him to head into his office. “Let’s head to my office to take a seat first. I’ll get the secretary to serve you tea.”

“T’m not here to have tea.”

The Third Master Lu looked at Lu Zhiheng and said, “In the past, the President of the Lu Group was in charge of managing the dispatch of military supplies. Since you’re the President now, this matter should be taken up by you.”

“This… Third Uncle, you also know that I just took over the company and I’m still a little unfamiliar. It’s currently the annual summary period and I’m so busy that I don’t even have time to sleep. How could I possibly have time to take care of that matter? Besides, didn’t Grandfather put you in charge?”

Third Master Lu got angry at his words. If he knew how to manage it, would he come looking for him?

“Tm just a martial artist and so how would I possibly know how to settle this?”

Lu Zhiheng thought internally to himself, “What does that have to do with me? That’s a task Grandfather assigned to you and if you’re incapable, you can go and look for him.”

However, on the surface, he revealed a smile and made a suggestion to him. “Third Uncle, why don’t you look for Second Brother? He’s good at this and he would be able to resolve the matter with just a few words here and there.”

‘The moment Lu Zhiheng mentioned Lu Jingye, the Third Master Lu got even angrier.

“He has already been chased out of the family by your Grandfather and so how am I supposed to look for him!”

Having said that, he left in a fit of rage.

He planned to return to the guard camp.

He’ll quit and they can do whatever they like!

Today it was still snowing and everywhere they looked, the scenery was all white.

Zi Yi and her group had soon arrived at the Jade Sea Hot Spring Villa, which was located on the hill outside the city.

‘There were two red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the villa. Inside the gate was a two-floor building used to receive guests.

After walking through the hall and into the backyard, what appeared before them was a vast land filled with maple trees. Within the maple forest, there was an irregular-shaped hot spring. There were also various small pavilions within the forest, making the area look as if they had arrived at an

immortal’s place of residence on Earth.

“Oh heavens, isn’t this too beautiful?”

Dou Xiangling’s eyes were wide open, whilst she took in the beautiful scenery.

Zi Yi giggled and said, “You’ll be able to paint here and perhaps there will even be a surge of inspiration.”

Dou Xiangling laughed in response, but she still remembered their purpose of coming here. “We’re here to take your wedding photos. How could I possibly paint?”

“Why not? I’ve already planned it out. We’ll stay here and play for three days first. During these three days, we can paint and soak in the hot springs. Then we’ll take the wedding photos on the fourth day and strive to finish it in a day. After that, we’ll go back.

Dou Xiangling slightly opened her mouth after hearing her plans. Sometime later, she asked, “We are going to stay here for so many days?”

“Yep.” Zi Yi nodded her head. “Since we’re here, we must stay here for a while.”

“Little Lu doesn’t have work to do?”

“He’ll work while we paint.”

Zi Yi had already thought out everything.

Dou Xiangling said, “…Yiyi, did you come here to take wedding photos or play?”

“Hehe, of course I’m here to take my wedding photos.”

She hooked her arm through Dou Xiangling’s and said, “Let’s go and check out the surroundings first. Ah Jing has reserved the entire hot spring villa and we can have a good time here in the following days.”

Dou Zerui who was standing beside them revealed a smile. “Not bad, not bad. In any case, it’s rare for us to enjoy ourselves as such and we can use this opportunity to take a good rest.”

Dou Xiangling’s eyes curved into crescent moons. “Alright then… After all, I’ve already been tricked by Yiyi into coming here… But I didn’t bring any painting materials.”

“There’s painting materials here! Ah Jing said that he prepared several different sets of painting tools and pigments for us. We can paint in whatever style we like.”

Dou Xiangling sighed. “That’s really thoughtful of Little Lu..”
